About Jabead

Hi my name is Barb, but you may know me as jabead from the DIS boards or Instagram. At last count I’d been to my favorite vacation destination, Walt Disney World in Florida, 25 times in the last 18 years. Most of these trips were with my family (husband and 3 kids) but in recent years I’ve taken a few solo trips to the World. My favorite part of vacationing at Disney World has been dining at many of the hundreds of restaurants there.

And when it comes to Walt Disney World restaurants, there is truly something for everyone, from those with simple tastes to those who seek out gourmet dining. The only problem is deciding where to dine when you have so very many choices to choose from. That is where I’m hoping to be of help to you.

Though I certainly haven’t visited all of the roughly 200 full service and quick service restaurants at Disney World, I have been to at least half of them and written dining reviews for many of these on the DIS boards. The reviews from six of my trips to the World (taken from May 2012 – Nov. 2015) have been transferred over from that forum and organized by both location (park, resort, or Disney Springs) and restaurant to hopefully make it easy for you to do some Disney dining research. Since then I’ve added 2 trip reports from 2016 and a Fall 2017 trip report to my blog. My Fall 2018 trip report is currently in progress here on my blog so I hope you will follow along to read some more current dining reviews. Also my next trip to Disney World is planned for Oct./Nov. 2019 so stay tuned for much more Disney dining!
